THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Don't Accept "Jim Crow" at the Theatre and Yell When it is Served to You in the Form of a "Crow Car!" THE NEGRO RACE HISTORY HEREABOUTS! Jackson County Missouri Scene of First Struggle for Freedom. Fourteenth Year. No. 33. Don't Accept "Jim THE NEGRO RACE HISTO Jackson County Missou Struggle for Court House at Independence Was Erected by a Negro Slave, Who Bled in Topeka a Few Years Ago --- Structure Erected Over Fifty Years Ago Stands Today. Five races of the human family were conspicuous and potent factors in the early history of Kansas City's immediate territory. They were the Spanish, the French, the Negro the Indian and the Anglo-Saxon. The fortunes and misfortunes of the dominant Anglo-Saxon race were most powerfully and lastingly influenced by the least promising of these races, the Indian and the Negro races. The forces of these two races acted upon civilization in diametrically opposite directions. The Negro was not a warrior nor was he purposely a disturber of the peace, while the Indian was combative and noted as a fighter. Cause of Three Wars. Nevertheless the Negro was the occasion and supplied the point of friction for three wars, each of which occupies a large space in our local history. The Mormon War, so called, was caused chiefly by the opposition to Negro slavery among the Latter Day Saints, who settled within and near Kansas City in less than five years after Jackson County became a political division of the state. This is the cause assigned for that war by the Latter Day Saint historians. Our war with Mexico, brought to a successful conclusion largely by Colonel Doniphan of Clay County and the men enlisted under him from the neighborhood of Kansas City, was waged by the United States government in the interest of the extension of slave territory. The great Civil War, which began on the Missouri and Kansas boundary line, ten years before the close of that war at Appomattox, was fought on account of the Negro race. Kansas City was the center of much of the earlier activities of that war and was the scene of one of the great battles fought only a few months before its close. There were many historic and romantic episodes among the whites caused by the Negro in their midst, the "underground railway," the Klu Klux Klan and the well nigh forgotten "exodusters," who were the fore-runners of a large part of the present Negro population of the state of Kansas. The race which, without direct participation, could provoke such tremendous military movements, and so much bloodshed, modifying and changing the social and political status of a nation for a long series of years, must have occupied a unique place in the affairs of mankind. The Silvers and the Silver. The original slave population of the state of Missouri clustered chiefly in Missouri River counties, from Pike County on the Mississippi River through Central Missouri to Platte County. Jackson, Clay and Lafayette counties, like other Missouri River counties, all possessed large slave populations, a fact which accounts for the intensity of the so-called "Kansas troubles," which preceded and introduced the larger military movements of the war between the states. The United States census of 1860 shows that the state of Missouri had a slave population of 114,931. These slaves were the property of 24,320 owners. Jackson County was accredited with having 3,944 slaves, the property of 898 owners. Within a year after this census was taken Gen. John C. Fremont, commanding the Missouri Department, issued a proclamation of emancipation for all the slaves in Missouri. President Lincoln, however, countermanded the proclamation. Not To Own Slaves Indicated Poverty. The slaves of Western Missouri were humanely treated. Nearly every family owned one or two slaves and these were regarded as part of the family. Not to own slaves indicated poverty, or what was worse, if a man was able to own Negroes and did not own them he was suspected of being a "black abolitionist," and was detested accordingly. Here and there in Western Missouri there were wealthy men who owned several hundred Negroes. The younger people of this generation can hardly conceive the profusion of plenty, the restfulness, even the prevailing idleness, which characterized these large establishments, or Negro plantations. The Negro was essentially an agricultural adjunct and was found most abundantly in rural regions. The old Negro plantations of Western Missouri recall the feudal conditions of the Middle Ages. A Picture of Slave Days. The house was large, its rooms spacious, and around the front ran great wide verandas. It was set in the midst of a lawn of several acres in extent, and back of it was a great square, round which were the Negro cabins, and in the midst of which roomed poultry, such as chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys, guinea fowls in profusion, among which the children, black and white, romped and rolled and tumbled together, utterly regardless of the color, line; and there were piles of cordwood, while the kitchen garden near by contained large assortments of good things to eat. The owner of such an establishment was noted for open-handed hospitality. John Smith settled at Independence, Mo., with a retinue of six hundred Negroes. The house which he built is still standing, a large old fashioned brick structure. Many of the Negroes were personally acquainted with but few of the slaves. Not infrequently he would meet a Negro on the highway, and as was the custom in such cases, would inquire: "Whose Negro are you?" Master and Man Unacquainted. Master and Man Unacquainted. Whereupon the Answer often was, "I'se Marse Smith's nigger," neither master nor slave knowing the other. Many Negro men were artisans; they were harness makers, shoemakers, carpenters, blacksmiths and builders. The logs in the first courthouse of Jackson County were hewed by a Negro man who was famous as an expert with the broadax. The old courthouse is still standing in Independence, a monument to a Negro's skill. His name was Jim Sheppard and he died only a short time ago in Topeka. His owner was James Shepherd, who came into the wilderness and staked out a claim on the section of and now occupied by Independence. Mr. Shepherd moved off when the site was selected for the county seat. He hired his Negrones to a Mr. Lewis, who had the contract to build the log courthouse. Mr. Shepherd left many descendants in Jackson County. He died a poor man because of a large and ever increasing number of slaves. He was not a strict task master and did not make his Negroes work much, nor did he ever sell one. Independence A Slave Center. Independence, Mo., being the outpost of civilization, was a center of a large slave population. These were several free Negroes in Independence. Among these was Hiram Young, who by thrift and enterprise had purchased himself of his master, who lived in Lafayette Co. Hiram came to Independence and became a large manufacturer of ox yokes, used in the Santa Fe trade. He owned a large establishment and employed many men, both white and black. He was uneducated, but was a good business man, keeping his accounts in his head and doing it with great accuracy. He became wealthy. Having purchased his own freedom, he soon laid up a sufficient hoard to purchase his wife. Their children were free or the chatels of the father.

He has made one of the best officials the Order ever had; in fact, he has accomplished more in four years than any of his predecessors in thrice that length of time, and his efforts have been appreciated. one of the free Negroes of Independen had a worthless and unruly son. The father being unable to manage the boy, at last sold him. Hiram Young did not have any such experience with his children. Some of his descendants are now living in Kansas City. The colored school of Independence was named the Hiram Young School, a fitting monument to the old ox-yoke maker. The Underground Railroad. The underground railroad was in vigorous operation along the Missouri and Kansas line, especially from 1854 to 1861. Old Quindaro, in Wynandotte County, Kansas, was headquatters for some of the underground railroad managers, who helped runaway Negroes from Missouri to reach Iowa and Canada. A recent history of Wyandotte County states that Lawrence, Kan., "cleared" $100,000 worth of slaves. The Missouriian who lost a Negro always proceeded to hunt for him in the territory of Kansas. There is nothing more exhilarating than a man hunt, and Missouri and Kansas played the game to the fullest extent. Kansas became the Negroes' ideal paradise. Along in the early 70s there was a most extraordinary exodus of Negroes into the Kansas paradise from the Southern States, especially from the State of Mississippi. Steamboat business was on the decline and advertising agents undertook to stimulate business by inducing Negroes in the South to take passage to Kansas. Flaming posters were distributed C. H. M. CO.

One of the Oldest Musical Organizations in Topeka and the State in Overlooked by the City Commissioners—Best Band in Topeka Barring Marshall's The county and state primaries have passed into history, leaving many salder but wiset men, and still there is more to follow in the wake of all this. In a short time you will be bessiged by a host of fellows that want to be mayor, city commissioners, etc. They are going to pour into your ear a sweet sounding story of how much they love the colored race and what they have done and are doing for the blacks, but a little sober thought and a pointed question put to him will make him drive on and unload his "hull" elsewhere. Did you ever stop and think for a minute that the free band concerts which we all are enjoying at the several parks are paid for by the city and that in proportion to the population that the colored people pay as much tax as the white? Well, they do and of all the "plays" at these parks, not a single one has been given to our own Twenty-third Regimental band, the second musical organization in Topeka in point of age, and the best band in the city barring Marshall's. Jackson's band is strictly a home through the Black Belt, holding out the promise that the government would give forty acres of land and a mule to every Negro settler in Kansas. The deluded creatures came up the river in droves. They all, or nearly all, landed at Wyandotte, now Kansas City, Kan. They were destitute and in the most miserable plight, Boatload after boatload came. The people of Wyandotte were unable to adhere with the rest. to cope adequately with the situation. Finally the mayor sent a boat-load of the "exodusters," as they were called, up to Leavenworth. The mayor was highly elated over this move, and was so pleased with the huge joke he was playing on the neighboring town that he sent a telegram in advance of the boat, notifying the mayor of Leavenworth to look out for a black cloud in the next boat. When the boat reached the offing at Leavenworth a cannon shot across the prow notified the captain that his cargo would not be received. The boat returned to Wyandotte, greatly to the chagrin and mortification of the mayor. A freight train was charted and several hundred "exodusters" were shipped to Topeka. They were instructed to call on the governor, who would certainly give them the forty acres and the mule. A large number of the "exodusters," however, settled in Wyandotte, and their descendants are there today where they have a colored university and other institutions of learning, all well attended. Perhaps the delusion that Kansas is a paradise was not a delusion. LLINS, age, A. F & A. M., Kansas Jurisdiction als the Order ever had; in fact, he than any of his predecessors in thrice have been appreciated. organization and they are in for anything that tends to boost Topeka. The organization is public spirited as they have proven on numerous occasions. Several years ago, the band cheerfully donated their services to the East side improvement club and played one or two free concerts for the citizens behind the movement. There is something wrongor perhaps the fact has been overlooked that Jackson and his boys are still in the music business. Hands outside of the city limits are given a slice of the small fund not aside for the amusement of the people and we can see no reason for not giving these boys a whack at the thing. You contribute to the tax fund and also have a say in the selection of commissioners, so it is up to you to decide whether this method of spending your money is satisfactory. STROUD, OKLA. Rev. C. K. Anderson, pastor of the Second Baptist church, had a big rally last Sunday. He will start a revival next Sunday night. Madam Emoline Batson L.

Mrs. Laura Anderson Hamilton, for many years a teacher in the public schools at Leavenworth, stood first in a civil service examination for postmaster at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont and was appointed July 25th at a salary of $90.00 per month. There were three candidates for the place; two white men and Mrs. Hamilton. She is the first woman of her race to land a like position over the civil service route, the appointment of Mrs. Cox and others having been recommended by the Preesident. Kansas and Kansans feel particularly good over Mrs. Hamilton's good fortune. She is one of the country's brightest women, and as an educator ranks in class A, and her work in the public schools at Leavenworth will ever stand out boldly as a proud testimonial to her ability and efficiency Kindly of nature and gentle of manner, she enly won a place in the hearts of parents and pupils that will prove lasting.

Independence, + - - Kenons MR. ALBERT ROSS IN THE FOREFRONT The Piaindeealer readers will get a stenographic report of the National Negro business league which convenes in Chicago next week from the observant eye and ready pen of Mr. Albert Ross, the well known Kansas Negro stenographer and business teacher. From Chicago Ross will go to Ann Harbor, Mich., to attend the state university there for a four-year full course in law. He will live and be employed at the home of Prof. Tatlack, one of the leading instructors there, doing extra stenographic work for law students and the daily practice court, thereby earning his living and scholastic expenses. Albert Ross is a progressive young Negro and in spirit and action is thoroughly Kansan-"Ad Atta Per Aspera" His father, Geo. G. Ross, Sr., served in the Second Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantry in Civil War times, and his parents were former citizens of Leavenworth. Ross holds three diplomas already, having graduated from Los Vegas, N. M., high school also from a business college in Colorad Springs, Colo. He speaks Spanish fluently and is a good musician and elocutionist. Since graduating he has had seven years experience in teaching stenography in the two Negro state institutions of Kansas, turning out graduates of high efficiency, who yet retain their positions and command increases in salary For the past three years, Ross has been doing extended work and practical labor and first-hand investigation and study along lines of applied sociology and applied psychology in the big manufacturing plants and railway transportation terminals where hundreds of men of all races are employed in Kansas City, in order to get ripened experience, contact and the useful knowledge at the very grass roots of business, of fundamental principles, systems, methods of man-having, intelligent supervision, discipline, race relationships, espirit de corps, and human nature in general. For four long years he has worked faithfully and loyalty and and through the heat of summers and the cold of winters has stored away in the recess of his mind a priceless mine of detail knowledge, made and cemented lasting friendships with all classes employed in these big industries, and exchanged confidence, human sympathy and brotherly recognition and fellowship with white and colored young and old, rich and poor, men and women. Albert Ross has been one to seize on every task with avidity, grapple its difficulties with a sort of joy, try experiments, make ventures, incut heavy tasks and look for returns beyond any stipulated wages. By steady application to work and strict attention to business, Ross has won over the esteem and encouragement of those high in authority over him, the goodwill and support of his fellow lovers and the high admiration of both Kansas Citys. In recognition of his worth and value, his wages have been steadily increased forty-five per cent since the beginning, and his employees have presented him with free transportation upon his present trip. Albert Ross belongs to the Masonic order—Pride of the West Lodge, No. 53, Kansas City, Kansas and has filled two terms as chairman of its auditor committee. He is also a member of Allen Chapel, A. M. E. church, music director in its Sunday School, and songster in its choir. He was a leading membeer of the General Conference chorus of 200 voices which distinguished itself so highly under the masterly leadership of Prof. R. G. Jackson last May. Mr. Ross was manager of the spring concert March 29th and assisted by Dr. Wm. H. Peck, pastor, Hon. Nelson Crews and Prof. Jackson, he crowded the enlarged auditorium to its capacity and brought a $300,00 house to the treasury of the church trustee. Several years ago Mr. Ross was employed upon the Plaindealer, traveled over the entitle state and made a record that won the commendation of the management and admiration of the subscribers whom he visited. In 1902 he brought to the National Negro Business League at Topeka, six student stenographers whom he had personally trained and who did stenographic work for the convention, and wrote dictated letters for the delegates. Mr. Ross has reported sessions of the Western Negro Press Association and the Interstate Literary society of Kansas and the West In Colorado Springs Ross was the only Negro member of a class of two hundred students and in competitive contests won a gold medal two consecutive times over the others. In other contests he won honorable mention more than once. Kansas will hear more about Albert Ross at the Michigan State Univesity in Ann Harbor, and The Plaindeealer feels that all Kansans, white and colored will have cause to rejoice and be greatly proud of his entry and coming success in that famous institution of learning. Albert Ross is a brother of P. George G. Ross, of the law firm of Ross & Townsend, Denver, Colo., and has a mother and sister residing in San Diego, Cali. Albert Ross stands today in the forefront. Rev. Mrs. Allen of Cherryvale, Kan. spent Thursday here, the guest of Mrs. Alex. Brown. Prof. Anderson of Battlesville, was a visitor in our city. Rev. Gambol of Paw, our newly elected pastor, conducted services Sunday at the A. M. E. church. Mrs. Will Brown, Mrs. Chas.

The Appropriation for the National Preachers' Home Tied up—Doorz About to Be Closed—Bishop Parks Appeals to the Church. To the Presiding Elders, Pastors and people of the -Fifth Episcopal district in particular, and to the Ministers and membership of the Connection in general, greeting: Dear Brethren and Co-laborers in th vineyard of the Master: This comes to call your especial attention to the National Preachers' Home of the A. M. E. church located at Colorado Springs, Colorado. You doubtless know that the Home has been almost completely furnished and is ready for the occupancy of the indigent and superanuated preachers of the respective conferences throughout the connection. The last General Conference appropriated $2,000.00 for the maintenance and support of such brethren that might be sent to the Home from any of the conferences of the connection and also $1,200..00 annually for the support of the Superintendent. In keeping with the action held by the General Conference we proceeded on th 11th of June to open the doors of the Home. We have one preacher from the North Missouri Conference, one from Tennessee, one from Kansas and one from Colorado, and seven applications from different conference for admission. But on account of the following statement from the Financial Secretary we are unable to admit the brethren who are desirous of coming. Statement: Financial Dept. A. M. L. Church. Financial Dept. A. M. L. Church. Washington, D. C., July 30, 1912. Rev. J. W. Braxton, D. D. Colorado Springs, Colo. Dear Brother Braxton: Replying to yours of July 27, I beg to say, the Secretary of the General Conference, Rev. W. D. Johnson, has filed with me a statement as to the action of the General Conference with reference to the National Preachers' Home. He certifies that all matters with reference to said home were referred to the Financial Board. In a recent conference with Bishop Parks at his home in Chicago, I went over this matter in detail and gave him to understand that so far as paying any appropriation from this department I would be governed by the certified statement of the Secretary of the General Conference. On the strength of the statement from the General Secretary I cannot pay anything to this home until so ordered by the Financial Board. You will understand that I have no initiative in the matter and cannot act, even in keeping with my own personal opinion but must act as a public trust, obeying orders as coming to me from the General Conference. In the face of these facts you need not expect any payment from this department until the Financial Board shall have acted on the matter referred to it by the General Conference. With best wishes, I beg to remain, Sincerely yours. This statement as you see ties up the active appropriation of the General Conference until the meeting of the Financial Board in April. We are forced to do one of two things: turn out the brethren in the "Home" and refuse to admit others, or raise the money from the public with which to operate the work. It is useless for me to tell you of the lasting disgrace and shame that the closing of these doors to our poor, worthy, wornout, disabled brethren whose lives have been given to the ministry of the church will bring to the connection, for you also know of the unkind seething and awful criticism that such a course will bring from the ranks of our own membership, and how its effects will be seen and felt in every department of our church work, not only in this particular section, but throughout the connection, so it is useless I feel for me to emphasize this phase of it. I hardly feel that it is necessary to call your attention to the criticism that will be made by our white friends who gave us this property; easily worth $20,000.00 except possibly $5,000.00 cost to the connection You know that unless the doors of the Home are kept open and the institution properly managed that the inability of the connection to manage and to demonstrate business capacity will be so colossally demonstrated that no process of reasoning will convince them that we can take care of interests only as they are directed and controlled by white men. Are we prepared to make these admissions? I am of the opinion that we are not, and am willing to apprise you of the facts in the case, and to request that all of you who have made subscriptions to the Home forward them at once to Rev. J. W. Braxton, 915 E. Huerfano Street, Colorado Springs, Colorado, who will receipt you for the same, and those who have not subscribed I most earnestly in the name of God and humanity appeal to you to send as large a sum as possible from your own purse and lay the matter before your people and take from them such sums as you can get and forward at once to the same address. You cannot fail to see the forcefulness o. the position we take and feel the responsibility that rests upon you as leaders of a struggling race and as Christian men pledged to the relief of suffering humanity. With an abiding faith in your readiness and determination to do your best, I am, Yours for God and the race. H. B. PARKS. J.W.BRAXTON, Mg'n. Colorado Springs, Aug. 6, 1912.

Edison Topics Plannerer: Have just finished a trip through the state of Oklahoma at the interest of education. The trip has been felicit and in- The last time conditions are good in space, some place the sun fields apart now as they will be in November. Mary are quite disturbed with cratic conditions in Oklahoma. Protests in the spring were thouching of the people were hopeful as they have not been to two years. Tarn came the hot winds. It is fortunate that nature so unnatural and that men are unkind in Oklahoma. The division of humanity is restricting another. The a father clause has many funny interpretations. It a man of color is a Democrat and cannot read and write the vote. It a man of color is a Republican and a lawyer, graduate of college he is not able to qualify. It is surprising to observe what favourable influence in many instances a Negro Democrat has. Certainly there are strange beliefs. Leaving out of consideration political views and the white man, the most speaking problem of interest that should concern us is the great human waste. It is said that a looming man is worth $1,000 to society in a community. Give that with the large and increasing number of boys and girls of us the means of support we are living many fortunes daily. I would like to improve upon all the economic waste and thereby show the human waste which conditions the future. The man who follows the chemical work of washing at a dollar per day worth to society in cash per year receiving money at 7 per cent $7.21) can we afford to lose the dollar woman? The man who labored for $1,500 a day is worth $10,400 a year to the community in which he lives. That is poor of worth community and the progress of humanity. In fact the child that earns five cents a day is worth $105 to its parents and community. Just change these figures about and you have the capital in cash which invested at 5 per cent will save the income that would support one in his present position without labor. After studying these figures one can realize quite clearly what an objective for every life man on the world corner, every girl and boy must time — what a deplorable loss is pernicious. Let us look at it from another view. The student, who spends $10 per month in his education, which $10 represents an invested capital of $10 at 7 per cent, should feel keenly his duty to study in hastily and successfully to make himself stowed so or puttential capital. In school life the interest is spent in the acquisition of capital. In real active life capital is invested to obtain interest. On, for a vivid recalibration on the part business men, teachers and preachers of this stupendous loss that we might unite forces and stop the leak Respectfully, G. A. GREGG. The Piaindealer does printing in all forms—circulars, letterheads, cards and envelopes STATE FAIR TO BE BETTER THAN EVER Secretary H. L. Cook Ta'ks of This Year's Program NEW ENTERTAINMENT FEATURE Horse Racing, Frontier Days Celebration, Buffalo and Elk Races. Etc. Among the Amusements—Splendid Special Features. "Kansas people are entitled to the best that money and energy can produce in the matter of a great State Fair," Secretary H. L. Cook declared in a statement about the coming State Fair at Topeka September 9 to 13. "The Kansas State Fair is going to advance from year to year, and this year is to be no exception. There will be no occasion or halting because of the political whirl, but rather a renewed determination in this presidential year, the beginning of the state's second half century, to far surpass last year's splendid record. The people of Kansas will welcome an opportunity to come to Topeka for a week in September and join with their neighbors and friends in a state-wide reunion and rejoice in the youth, growth and all increment of their state as will be little emphasized in the exhibits of their products." Secretary's office is easily the busiest place in Topeka. The record of battles and exhibits in all depart- THE MARTIN MARTIN Secretary Kansas State Fair. ments are greater now than they were August 15, last year. The fair this year will be bigger in all departments than it was last year. State Cook will. It will be a state Fair all Kansas can be proud of. It will equal the Iowa and Illinois state fairs, older institutions and with more money behind them. Topeka, with its excellent rollout facilities, is the natural location for a great state fair. Its grounds are within nine blocks of the state house and are the most convenient and beautiful in all the West. "Not only is the fair bigger than ever but we expect greater crowds of our own town people and are doing everything in our power to make them stay for the big week pleasant and comfortable. I find unusual interest in the Iopela fair and my reports show that thousands are coming to remain during the week." Kansas people who want to see some fine racing will be pleased at the exceptional program for the State Fair at Topeka "There are 150 more horses entered in the early closing stakes this year than there were in the same races last year, and this is just a sample of what is true in every other department," Secretary Cook said "The live stock department will be large and strong. We will have all the farm machinery exhibits that we have room for and all the special features are better than ever." Of course, the Chevenne Frontier Day's Celebration which has been given at Chevenne for seventeen years and attracted world wide attention will be the most interesting attraction. This unique and realistic reproduction of American plains life of former lays in Kansas and the West attracted former President Roosevelt to that city after his journey into the wilds of Vilca. Buffalo and Ike teams, relay races and bromo-busting" will make this feature of the State Pal exhibitions realistic. This is true because the character of entertainment familiar only to the pioneers of a former day and age is passing. It will probably be the last appearance of this world famous exhibition. Secretary Cook now announces that five thousand settlers and students will be built for the State Pal visitors who come to see this reproduction of Cheyenne Frontier Days. The United States government displays this year will consist of models of the latest naval equipment, and will include many new features in the way of modern guns for the army and navy. One of the clean, up to date educational amusement features is Wortmann & Allen's new electric carnival company which will delight every visitor to the State Fair at Topeka, September 3 to 11. The free attractions are superior to those ever put on before, and they all constitute five days of clean, wholesome amusement. as State Fair at Topeka, is no longer local, but has become a statewide institution in which the people have confidence and to which they are giving a generous support. Its visitors this year will come from every county and community in the state. EXPECT TO BREAK ALL RECORDS The Kansas State Fair at Topokla is a permanent institution. More than $100,000 have been spent in the erection of fireproof concrete buildings. Last year exhibitions of live stock, farm products, machinery and others were loud in their praises of the management to. the ample provisions made for their care and comfort. The thousands of farmers and tosus people who attended the State Fair declared it to be an exhibition of Kansas products fully in keeping with the states wonderful growth and advancement. It was a rounding out of Kansas' first fifty years of development and progress with a show of wealth and achievement in state building that was good to see. The record of 1811, when the Kansas State Fair at Topeka was easily the largest stock and agricultural exhibition in the western country. It certain this year to surpass that showing. In the live stock department alone these, in brief, were the figures of last year: 710 head of show cattle. 200 head of draft horses. 1,200 head of show hogs. 600 head of show sheep. The prospects point to a greater fair in September. Kansas and exhibitions from other states will be at Topeka in greater numbers than ever before. Secretary H. L. Cook confidently previews that the coming State Fair will collapse in exhibits and interest last year's fine record in every department. Of special interest to the farmers will be the free lectures each day in the different live stores departments by experts from the Kansas Agricultural College. THE STATE FAIR MAP. In Two Years Kansas Has Won Fifth Place For It's Fine Stock Show at Topeka. What a husky youngster the Kansas State Fair at Topeka has grown to be in two years. Does it seem possible to put a State Fair into the front rank of big fairs in so short a time, with not unlimited capital or state aid? Only energy and exceptional management could perform the seeming miracle. The 1911 fair at Topeka raned fifth in the number of entries in the five stock division. Like a mushroom the big fall developed from a medium house meet to a pretty big fall. People were slow to believe even their own eyes. They know that their confidence has not been imposed upon, that all promises have been exceeded and that the big Kansas State Fair has come to stay. They marveled at the splendid show last year, at the handsome permanent improvements added to the grounds, and regretted that every loyal Kansas could not see the fair. Those who appreciate that it takes gite receipts to insure continued success are boosting for the fair at Topel a this year, the fair that made good in two brief years, and put Kansas on the State Fair map in daming colors. The 1912 dates are September 9 to 13 inclusive. THE FAVORITE TRACK. Horsemen Are Heading Towards Kansas State Fair—Topeka Track the Best for Racing in the Western Country—Entries Pouring in—Record Breakers Coming. The horsemen have their eyes on Topeka. More entries have been received already for the races at the Kansas State Fair than ever before, and the late closing purses are yet open. Where to put all the horses is the problem now confronting the fair managers. Attracted by the very liberal purses, the best half mile track in the West, and the reputation established as a real State Fair, the owners of fast horsefish are coming without coaxing. This unprecedented list of entrants includes some noted horsefish in the trotting and pacing classes, and Derby Day will be a record breaker for the Topeka track. If present indications continue. At no time in the history of the Topeka track has there ever appeared such an array of celebrities as will be seen in the speed program of the 1912 air. The earlier fact that the Kansas State Fair is in the big western circuit following Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska State Fair, makes Topeka a logical means of the horsemen bound southwards for the life fall expositions. Lovers of good horse racing on coast on a genuine carnival of Clarks Airport at Topeka, September 10 to 14 Camping at the State Fair.

He was called to Pittsburg on account of the illness of his sister, Mrs. Carrie Waring, who was very sick. Mrs. A.

She was also a number of the A. M. E. church. She was 42 years of age and was the mother sixteen children, nine of whom are living and all but one was present at the time of her death. Besides the children she leaves a husband, brother, father and a host of friends to mourn her demise. Funeral was conducted by Rev. Broadnax, assisted by Rev. W. W. Ewing. Last Sunday John Harris became involved in a scape with a white man in West Weir and the man made a lunge at him with a knife, but John countered on him with a ball bat and the result was that the white man is in a bad fix and John is in jail.

Preparations Well Under Way for Big Annual Event WILL BE BETTER THAN EVER State Fair Association Arranging to Take Care of Record Breaking Crowd During Week of September 9. The advanced position Kansas occuples in agriculture, horticulture and stock raising, is due more to the work of the Kansas State Agricultural College, the State Board of Agriculture, and the state and county fairs that annually display our products than to any other interest Supplementing and emphasizing this work in state building are the more than five hundred newspapers which constantly keep in the front the many advantages offered to those who desire to engage in agriculture or its allied interests. These heralds of the state's wonderful advancement and of the people's marvelous achievements are every day and every week telling the story of a young commonwealth that has been the admiration and wonder of the world The Kansas State Fair management recognizes and appreciates the splen did work of Kansas newspapers in exploiting the achievements of this imperial state. It encourages the Association in its mission to promote better agriculture, horticulture, stock raising and manufacturing. The coming State Fair at Topeka, September 9 to 13, will be more than a great display of the products of the state; it will be an educational institution that will induce men to think and urge them to put forth better efforts for intelligent farming and stock breeding. It will be a place for those who have learned the lesson well to demonstrate results. The State Fair Association appreciates the encouragement and support of the people of Kansas in the building of a great State Fair at Topeka and the message it sends to the citizens of the state is that this year's exhibition will be bigger and better than any previous year. It is probable that the attendance in September will be the greatest that ever assembled at a state fair in the middle west. To meet the conditions demanded of a great state fair that shall be fully representative of Kansas' growth and advancement, the Association has provided at Topeka, in the last few years, modern stock barr which make it possible to give the best of housing in all departments. More than $100,000 have been expended in the erection of permanent buildings, and other greater improvements are to be made. The new brick and cement fireproof cattle barn, capable of housing 332 head of cattle under one roof, is a model of convenience. The new brick and cement horse barn, capable of housing 300 head of horses under one roof, is entirely modern. New sheep and swine barns, poultry and agricultural halls, together with the most modern and up-to-date race horse barns of any grounds in the West, insures the exhibitor the best of care during the week. The State Fair management is preparing to make pleasant and comfortable the stay of every visitor to the Fair in September. During the week of September 9 to 13, the grounds will be equipped with every convenience, including rest rooms, check room, emergency hospital, information bureau, barber shop, local and long distance telephones and post office. Mail addressed to the Kansas State Fair at Topeka will be brought to Secretary Cook's office on the grounds twice daily by carrier. The information bureau will be maintained by the Topeka Commercial Club and will have a list of rooms that may be rented and visitors will be directed to them if not otherwise provided for Of interest to hundreds of Kansas is the invitation by the State Fair Association to avail themselves of the five camp grounds in a special study spot within the encampment. This beautiful plot has running water and very attractive. No charge will be made for camping permits. Your site will be collected each morning parties coming with vehicles will pay only one regular admission, and no additional fee will be collected with same remains on the grounds. You may be rented on the grounds. Brilliant Illumination at Fair. The 1912 Kansas State Fair at Tremella will be a great white war of light. Plains are underway to install a lighting system that will make the grounds a blaze of brilliance from the massive cut store main entrance arch to the grand stand. It is the aim of the management to make the grounds just as attractive as possible and so thoroughly lighted at night, that the illumination itself will be a feature County exhibits at the Kansas State Fair at Topeka promises to be one of the most interesting features this year. The people consider that the best advertisement for the rich farm land in any county is a good county collective agriculture exhibit. MUSIO A STATE FAIR FEATURE. The program of Concerts This Year at Topeka Will Far Surpass Those of Other Days. The annual Musical Festival at the State Fair at Topeka has become an event that is statewide in interest. Next to the Messiah given each year at Littleborg, the Topeka Festival of five days during the Fair, September 9 to 13, is the finest musical entertainment ever rendered in the state. Visitors to the State Fair at Topeka will hear four grand free band concerts daily by the finest concert band of the country. Fifty trained musicians will discourse sweet music, and in addition grand opera singing will charm the lovers of this class of music. Information coming to Secretary Cook at Topeka indicates that many Kansas will visit the State Fair to enjoy this great musical attraction The State Fair Association desires to assure the people that this year's musical program will be the finest ever rendered in Kansas. It will be an event that should be enjoyed by every citizen of the state. The Fair Association believes that good music will be appreciated by the people, and it is planning no expense to make this feature the crowning event of the State. The Association declares that its fine musical program consisting of four free land concerts daily and the prud opa singing by well known states are worth more than the price of admission to the Fair. For such a musical treat given for pay, the people would be charged four or five times the price of admission to the Fair. The musical festival last year was highly praised by the thousands who attended the State Fair at Tepeka, but this year it is paid the great concerts and the open singings will surpass it in every way. BY AUTO TO THE STATE FAIR. Farmers Planning to Take Their Families to Tepeka During Week of September 9. "How many thousand automobiles will there be in Tepeka during the State Fair September 4 to 11?" That is a question the Farn Association and the people of the capital city are likely about. There are a thousand automobiles in Tepeila and in a territory of fifty miles per mile that city there are probably fewer there may be more than that. How many farmers and others will visit the State Fair with their families in automobiles from a distance of fifty to one hundred miles cannot, at this time, be stated, but there will be thousands, as shown by the letters to Secretary H. I. Cook. Generally the farmers are coming by auto with their families" he said, "and we are making arrangements for their comfort and pleasure. There are many places of interest about Topeka which they will want to visit, and this outing will give them an opportunity to get acquainted with the capital city and to know more of its beauties and environments. "A week at the State Fair and time for pleasure ride about Topeka will be a pleasant outing for the people and I am assured that several thousand will be here in automobiles to enjoy State Fair week." There are other reasons why the farmers and others will come to automobiles to the State Fair. The American Automobile Association will hold a meeting at Topeka at that time which will lend additional interest to the many attractions of State Fair week. Special Trains; 2cent Fare. "That's fair occup, said Secretary H. L. Cook, of the Kansas State Fair, speaking of the decision of the Western railroads to make no lower fair rate than two cents this year. "All fairs will be on the same excursion basis as to fairs, but we must have more special train service to accommodate the people who want to come to Topeka. From every part of the state letter we come to this of fine inquiry, or a party raise, probable time schedule of them at State Fair parties and being formed and the sentiment favors in stay of several days at the fair. Bees and Honey at the Fair Superintendent: I. D. L. H. of the Arkansas Department of Agriculture State Fair Department in planning an elaborate program in connection with the display of bees and honey. The features are used to decorate and enhance the display in the fairground. Bees will be attracted to draw attention to one of the new attractions features of the Arkansas Department of Agriculture. Bees will be drawn to draw attention to the display play in Arkansas. Three days September 7 and 8, will be held for property with and installation of works to the Kot for State Park. There will be full days September 10 to the close of fair. Live entry must be place before the opening may September This title is now offered at all big fairs and will be served uninterrupted at Tepcha. Every county in Kansas should send to the Kansas State Fair at Topeka, samples of their products. The importance of fair reaching Visitors to the State Fair are looking for these exhibits. Many a buyer of Kansas land chose the location from seeing a county exhibit at the State Fair.
